Build up your camp and try to keep your Gladiators happy while training them for glory. Peasants are required to produce food and water to ensure they never go hungry and to forge new weapons and armor to gain the edge in combat. Train Gladiator's with brute Strength in the Training yard, build an Archery to train their Dexterity or test their mental with libraries so they can unleash a fury of spells at their unsuspecting opponents.

Send your Gladiators into the Arena to claim victory and earn gold to keep your Peasants and Gladiators happy. Missing a payday is not an option! The Arena isn't all there is in these troubled times, take on quests and adventures such as clearing a path through an enchanted forest, or protect a small villager's crop from Earth Elementals. Lead your men to the Arena finals while trying to discover what or who is behind such dark deeds.

I enjoyed this demo, but cannot rate it much higher due to this bug:
When the time comes to summon your third gladiator, he spawns off-screen and I am unable to train him. He continues to eat away at resources however. I have been unable to fix this.
Thank you for linking this game.

Senseless. And no fun. This is the game to play when you're in prison.
